Philippine journalists prepare for Super Storm 'Yolanda'

The biggest storm this year in the Southwest Pacific, and
one of the biggest storms on
record anywhere, is expected to hit land in the central Philippines Friday
morning.

This super storm, known internationally as Typhoon
Haiyan, but called "Yolanda" by Filipinos, has winds of up to 150 miles per
hour and expected rainfall of up to eight inches. Thousands of people are being
evacuated. The track of the storm is expected to take it right over areas still
reeling from a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake in October.

Journalists in the Philippines--and nearby nations like
Vietnam also expected to be impacted by the storm--should be mindful to work
in teams and establish back-up forms of communication. Freelancers should know
that they most likely will not receive any institutional support. Newsrooms and
journalists need to make sure they double-check all their equipment and
supplies.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer, the English-language paper
read across much of the archipelago nation, has published
a list of tips from the Philippine Red Cross for families to keep themselves safe. CPJ's Journalist Security Guide also publishes a list of tips for
newsroom and journalists covering Natural Disasters.

Right here is the perfect blog for anyone who wishes
to find out about this topic. You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with
you (not that I really will need to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand
new spin on a topic which has been written about for a long time.
Excellent stuff, just great!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same
comment. Is there any way you can remove me
from that service? Appreciate it!
